iStreet Lab is a socially engineered piece of technology for community development and youth crime prevention.
The violent street culture we are experiencing globally has much to do
with a kind of copycatism. Young people involved in popular street culture
with no guidance, no direction descends into mindlessness. Interpretation
of sexy and fashionable, is further eroded as echoed and embodied by the
popular music culture and the action moving picture industries who project
crime and violence as a defined method of social survival.
The iStreet Lab is an action to bring about some sense of inclusion of
youth in the decision making process of self motivation and direction,
giving the youth a higher level of involvement in how they can contribute
to national development while developing themselves and building self-esteem,
before they get captured by the lure of the sexiness of guns and violence.
The iStreet Lab is a Behavioural Change Lab.
iStreet Lab is a mobile community multimedia center, that recycles people
and communities using technology to engage them. Everyone is trying to
recycle the planet, the iStreet Lab focuses on recycling human behaviour
because you cannot change the world without changing the people!
We are like a virus once we inject we begin to spread.
